The research on gyroscopes has lasted for a long time, but there is not a thorough analysis of them. In this paper, a detailed theoretical analysis of fiber ring gyroscope and its gyroscope effect are presented, the performance characteristics of optical resonator gyroscope ranging from transmission function Tfrr, Finesse, Q-factor, the gyro
us
sensitivity, signal noise ratio, random walk to dynamic range are all deduced in detail.
In addition, a large
number of experiments have been done to verify the deduced theoretical results. The relevance of dQ and turn number of fiber ring simulated, the frequency difference of two counter transmitted waves (CW and CCW) of the
an
rotated system is analyzed, make the conclusion that with the increase of turn number of ring, the resonance depth increased while the dQ value decreased, obtain a high sensitivity of 0.210/h, random walk of 0.00350/√h, and Q factor of 8˟106. Moreover, in the digital frequency locked dual rotation gyro experiments, obvious step effect is observed. And the experimental line of frequency difference is very agreement with the theoretical line. The
M
research provides a good theoretical and experimental basis for the study of gyroscopes. 1. Introduction
d
The fiber ring resonator (FRR) is the core sensing element in a gyroscope system , the study of optical gyroscopes was a hot field in recent years ,and they have been widely used in industry and military, they were applied ranging
te
from inertial navigation systems in aircrafts and vessels to control, stabilization and positioning systems for robotics and virtual reality applications[1].The laser gyroscopes produce two counter propagating beams, and their frequency difference is used to measure the rotation speed, the sensitivity is used to measure the performance of
Ac ce p
optical gyroscope. There has been many elements influence the sensitivity, such as the quality factors, the diameter of ring resonator ,the length of fiber ,Finesse, resonance depth , the slope of the resonance curve and so all. A lot of scholars are in study of the influence factors on the sensitivity, like Zhejiang University, Beijing university of aeronautics and astronautics, Changchun University of Technology and Kanazawa University. But they all do not have a summary of the elements, so this paper provides an in-depth description. 2. Theory
The resonated fiber optic gyroscope structure is given as follows: Light from laser S is translated into isolation 1, and divided to two beams (CW and CCW) by a 3dB
couplerC1.Then the two beams transmit into isolation 2, phase modulator 1and isolation 3, phase modulator 2 respectively, one of the beams through circulator C2 is coupled into fiber ring resonator, and forming CCW wave, another beam through circulator C3 is coupled into fiber ring resonator, and forming CW wave. The resonance frequency of CW light is detected by detector PD1 through coupler C2, and the resonance frequency of CCW light is3 detected by detector PD2 through coupler C3. In order to detect frequency difference, the CCW light is locked to laser through Lock-in amplifier LIA1, PI circuit and high voltage amplifier. While the CW light through Lock-in amplifier LIA2 is detected as gyro signal △f.

Next we will deduce the transmission function of optical fiber ring resonator in detail: Considering the temporal coherence of the laser, the output intensity of the FRR normalized by the input intensity can be described as[3,4]:

Respectively, sensitivity 1: δΩ=0.22 /h; sensitivity 2、3: δΩ=0.910/h, when considered the turns number of FRR, they equal to 0.210/h. According to the sensitivity value, we can calculate that ARW is 0.00350/√h. The high

index of FRR gyroscope meets the demands of tactical grade. 3.3Analysis of step effect
The frequency difference of CW and CCW is a very important index for optic gyroscope, because it reflects the
M
performance of its stability. So we do the test of gyroscope which rotating at different speed, and in this experiment, the length of the fiber ring we used is 12m and its diameter is 15cm, the following figures are the

direction(POS), resonant point began to drift down, when stop rotation, after a period of buffering, they finally stabilized at the original resonance point; in the contrary ,when rotate in negative direction(NEG), resonant point drift up. By analyzing multi-group data of the graph, we get the results is that experimental line of frequency
an
ifference is very agreement with the theoretical line. In the experiment, we got the conclusion is that the dynamic range is 4800/s, the scale factor nonlinearity is less than 3%. It is a better testing result for large dynamic range of R - FOG system.
